Exactly, it's not like it's a secret that you're going for it. It's still a standard football play for short yardage. Why should the success rate be any different than any other play?

It would also give a coaching staff more freedom on 2nd and 3rd downs

Let's do it. Never punt and never kick FGs unless it's 4th and over 12. Call coach.

That is exactly what I said.

Your reading comprehension is awesome. I appreciate your brilliant input of absolutely nothing.

Tell me why this is a bad idea and have something to back it up with instead of being a sarcastic twat.

Easterbrook's stats tested bottom line for those too lazy to read....

quote:

• Inside your own 20, punt.

• From your 21 to 35, go for it on fourth-and-2 or less.

• From your 36 to midfield, go for it on fourth-and-3 or less.

• From the opposition 49 to opposition 30, go for it on fourth-and-4 or less.

• From the opposition 29 to opposition 3, go for it on fourth-and-3 or less.

• From the opposition 2 or 1, go for it.

• Exception: inside the opponent's 25, attempt a field goal if it's the fourth quarter and a field goal causes a tie or gives you the lead.
